Delta

In 2014, SCOPE partnered with Delta’s Child and Youth Committee, a grouping of representatives from different sectors who help to plan and coordinate complimentary programs and services based on the unique needs of children and youth in the area. To improve the nutrition choices and physical activity opportunities available to children, a sub-committee was formed with members from the School District, Delta Gymnastics, Parks and Recreation, Fraser Health, Delta Literacy, Reach, BC Responsible, and Problem Gaming. This Balanced Living Committee helps tie together Delta’s existing health-promotion initiatives under the Live 5-2-1-0 framework and strategizes ways its inter-sectoral partners can integrate Live 5-2-1-0 into their programs and services.
